Friends! Pirates! Lovers of beauty! In the last hours of the #FandomMarket, I want to share how one adorable little guy, acquired in last year’s @ourfamilyourfight.bsky.social craft fair, has been raising spirits in the offices of a beleaguered cultural institution all year long. Meet Phillip.

The first time I heard Stephen Colbert say, “Describe the rest of your life in five words,” to a guest, I immediately thought, “Spinster reads books with cats” - got it in one! Every time I watch that segment I consider it again, but I honestly don’t think I can improve on that initial prediction.

The coffee festival does not judge - it knows my taste runs to many things, and it gives me what I need. #OFMD #steddyhands
